Because he found that the situation in the entire northern part of Youzhou was becoming increasingly chaotic.
Ding Ling people?
Didn't the Ding Ling people shrink back? Why did they suddenly pop up again? And some even ran here?
Although some fixed water sources are the lifeline in the desert, it does not mean that there will be people in all water sources. After all, in an area as large as Northern Xinjiang, even if there are clouds, it may not rain.
Therefore, Zhao Yun stayed in this patch of grass, which was an area outside the Han Dynasty's map. Except for the Hussar General who had a backup map, no one knew what this place was called and what its boundary was.
But Ding Ling happened to bump into him...
Although there is still some distance, if it were drawn on the map, it would be almost on Zhao Yun's face.
Things like this made Zhao Yun feel somewhat weird.
Are the Ding Ling people ready to take advantage?
But it’s a little early to dispatch now, isn’t it?
So it's fire detection?
Zhao Yun frowned.
This possibility cannot be ruled out.
Zhao Yun's current troop arrangement is generally like a big "Y". The southernmost one is the logistics base based on Changshan Camp, which is mainly composed of infantry and a small amount of cavalry. It is mainly responsible for defense, not offense.
Zhao Yun's main formation is in the middle, and the branches extending to the north and east are Zhang He and Gan Feng.
In the desert, there are vast expanses on all sides. Only the Changshan camp is inevitable and takes advantage of the mountains. The remaining three local troops are mainly cavalry and have no special geographical advantages.
Changshan Camp is stuck between two mountains. It is the main passage from Youzhou to Taiyuan Shangdang and Yinshan Hedong. If Changshan Camp is attacked, as long as the information lines laid out along the way are unobstructed, Zhao Yun will be there in about half a day.
After receiving the message, they will immediately bite the opponent's butt and block it between the mountain and the camp, forming a situation of catching a turtle in an urn, while Gan and Zhang to the north and west return to fill their positions and support the rear flanks...
The strategy in the desert is even simpler. If the three outer parts are attacked, the other two parts will circle around and attack the opponent's flanks...
Therefore, overall, Zhao Yun's arrangement is both offensive and defensive, so there is no problem.
But the problem now is that Zhao Yun originally wanted to attract a bear, but in the end a cute deer jumped in. So should he fight or not?
Fighting and dealing with these intruding Ding Ling people is not a big problem, but the problem is that it may expose the overall combat deployment and cause other parties to be alert, which means that Zhao Yun's original strategy needs to be readjusted...
If there is no fight, Zhao Yun and others will have to deliberately get out of the way of this group of Ding Ling people, and the entire strategic layout will also be affected. Moreover, these Ding Ling people are only the vanguard. Once Zhao Yun and others get out of the way, it means that the eyeliners will also
It will become more loose and some areas will not be covered...
These all require judgment by Zhao Yun, and every decision Zhao Yun makes will affect the future direction of the war.
Just when Zhao Yun was about to decide to be conservative and clean up the intruding deer, news of the latest scout came. The group of Ding Ling did not come straight towards Zhao Yun's main formation, but came from the previous one.
The water source turned northwest...
"Turn northwest?"
What does Ding Ling want to do?
Zhao Yun quickly walked to the map, looked at the signs on the map, and suddenly an idea came to him...
……(●￣(?)￣●)……
early morning.
The sky in the desert is always very blue, and the grass looks very green.
Large and small puddles are like mirrors, reflecting the sky and white clouds, and then some grasshoppers jump across the water, forming circles of thin water waves...
Gradually, people woke up from their sleep, and most of the first ones to wake up were women. They were responsible for cooking the first meal of the day.
Then with more and more voices, the men began to take action. Some began to take care of the livestock, while others checked their hunting tools...
Children are the most carefree. They start playing almost as soon as they open their eyes. The older children take the younger children, and then they can play happily around the tent, and then they lead the dogs.
They run around together, releasing vitality and hope.
The old people were sitting at the tent door, squinting their eyes, and reminding them from time to time, then opening their mouths that were missing one or a few, and laughing.
When the smoke rises high and forms columns of smoke in the air, it is like a sign and a bait, attracting something to slowly approach...
An old man who was leaning on the tent doorpost seemed to have noticed something. He suddenly jumped forward, turned his head and put his ear directly to the ground!
The child next to him didn't seem to notice anything. He just smiled and followed the old man's lead. He also threw himself on the ground, then turned his head sideways and looked at the old man with his cute big eyes. As usual, whenever the child looks like
Now, when imitating the old man's actions, he always gets the old man's smile and praise, but this time, the child saw an expression on the old man's face that he had never seen before...
The old man raised his head from the ground and let out a shrill roar!
The men and women in the tribe were stunned for a moment, and then burst into chaos!
The half-cooked pot tipped over, and the soup splashed out causing the campfire to creak, and the originally gray smoke suddenly turned black...
Men whistled and ran out from the tent, from the fence, and from everywhere, holding long and short weapons in their hands.
The women were shouting, holding fire tongs or short meat-cutting blades in their hands, and holding their children in their other arms...
The horses inside the fence were released, but some people who got on their horses ran out on their horses and were driven back not long after...
A flag with stars and crescents painted on it appeared on the grassy slope not far away, with a black background and a red moon. It looked like blood stained on the flag.
The old man who was the first to issue a warning shouted something loudly, and then gradually the people in the tribe became quiet and looked at the approaching Ding Ling cavalry.
The child instinctively sensed something was wrong. He opened his mouth and cried a few times before his mother slapped him and covered his mouth.
The man clenched the weapon in his hand tightly, and the veins on the back of his hand popped out.
The horse's hooves stopped.
The war horse snorted loudly.
The old man who was the first to warn took a few steps forward, reached the open space between the two sides, and then prostrated himself on the ground.
The old man still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that the Ding Ling people were just here to collect taxes, or maybe...
However, Ding Lingtou didn't even have the patience to deal with it. He shouted loudly, drove his horse forward, and then slashed his sword straight down from the air!
The old head was rolling in the air with blood spurting out. The old man tried hard to take another look at his family, but he could only see the sky that seemed to be stained with blood...
The shrill shouts rang out among the chaotic horse hooves. The originally green pasture was suddenly dyed red, the white smoke turned into black smoke columns, and chaos and blood began to spread...
The Ding Ling man smeared blood on his face, then raised his sword and howled. The other Ding Ling men also smeared blood on their bodies and faces, and then laughed and shouted excitedly, like addicts.
The bloody beast bites its prey.
……(` Dis’)……
Yuyang.
"Meet General Gongsun..." A man who looked like a scribe raised his hand in greeting.
Gongsun Du smiled and showed six teeth, "Oh, I have been busy with military affairs for the past few days, and I have neglected Mr. Genju! I'm sorry, I'm so rude!"
The literati of the rank are Bing Yuan and Bing Genju.
Bing Yuan also smiled and said: "I am just a nobody, but I am so grateful that the general cares about me so much!"
Gongsun Du smiled and said: "Mr. Genju is famous all over the world, how can there be any reason for neglect? But didn't Mr. Genju return to his hometown? I don't know why Mr. Genju wants to return to Liaodong today?"
Bing Yuan sighed, looking somewhat lonely, and did not answer for a while.
Gongsun Kang frowned and was about to get angry, but was stopped by Gongsun Du, "Mr. Genju, do you have something to hide?"
"To be honest, General..." Bing Yuan cupped his hands and shook his head and said, "When I was in Liaodong, as I got older, my homesickness was like a torrential tide, continuous and unstoppable, and I couldn't control myself... So I said goodbye.
He was rescued by the general and returned to his hometown... but... alas..."
Bing Yuan sighed again, then pinched his beard and groaned, "I went to the east mountain, and I will not return. I come from the east, and there is zero rain. I return in the east, and my heart is sad in the west. Make his clothes."
Don't wear clothes, don't wear them. The grasshoppers and the beetles are hanging out in the mulberry fields. Dunbi sleeps alone, also under the car..."
"I wandered the Eastern Mountains, but I could not return. I came from the East, and there was no rain. The fruit was naked, and it was also applied to the world. Iwei was in the house, and the octopuses were in the door. The deer farm in the town was shining brightly at night. Don't be afraid. , Yi Kehuaiye... alas..." Bingyuan looked sad, with some tears flashing in the corners of his eyes, "After returning home, things have changed and people have gone..."
Gongsun Du was also silent. After a long time, he cupped his hands and said, "Sir, my condolences..."
Gongsun Du was not from Liaodong, so he naturally felt a lot about what Bing Yuan said. In comparison, Gongsun Kang, who was born in Liaodong, did not have so many feelings, and even felt that Bing Yuan was somewhat hypocritical. Then he asked bluntly: "I heard that Mr. Cao Mengde voted for him? Is this possible?"
Bing Yuan was stunned, "How can you say this?"
Gongsun Kang sneered and said: "Mr. Wen and Bei Hai were chatting and laughing, and they were toasting and having a feast..."
Bing Yuan raised his head and laughed, "Beihai invites you, how can a certain class of ordinary people refuse? Laughing at a banquet is a courtesy. Just imagine, if the major general invites others to the banquet, they will look sad. Alas. Sighing and wailing endlessly, can’t the banquet be held?”
"Uh..." Gongsun Kang blinked, not knowing how to respond.
Gongsun Du raised his eyebrows, "So, sir, you didn't choose Cao? But why? I heard that Cao Mengde has good governance and is quite popular among the people..."
"Aha!" Bing Yuan sneered twice, "If you say that Cao Mengde exploited the land and oppressed the good, I would believe it. What the general said was that "good governance has won the hearts of the people", but I don't know how to say it? 』
"Oh?" Gongsun Du said, "I heard some fragments of Yuyang's words... could it be... that it's not the truth?"
Bing Yuan stroked his beard and said: "Cao's dictatorship, holding the emperor hostage, fish and meat place... Hey! In the countryside, there are so many people who dare to be angry but dare not speak out! By the way, I don't know if the general can hear this person, you weigh you. Shohei?』
Gongsun Du frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"This man is a great talent..." Bing Yuan said, "But he was born in a poor family. Although he had talent and learning, he couldn't use it. And when he encountered injustice in Ye City, he got angry and scolded him, beating drums to complain... so The words, hahaha, the words are very sharp, haha, sorry, sorry, let me elaborate..."
Bing Yuan slowly told the story about Mi Heng. When it came to Mi Heng openly scolding Cao Cao for his incompetent governance in the long street, Gongsun Du obviously stretched his neck and seemed very interested, and listened. When Mi Heng also scolded Xun Yu, Chen Qun, Guo Jia and others, he clapped his hands, laughed, and praised them repeatedly.
"Where are these wonderful people now?" Gongsun Du obviously wanted to recruit Ni Heng.
Bing Yuan shook his head and sighed: "I have sent you to Chang'an! The Cao family is hypocritical and wants to kill you Zhengping with the help of others... People like this are ashamed to be in the same group..."
Gongsun Du turned back and glanced at Gongsun Kang.
Gongsun Kang was a little stunned.
Gongsun Du moved his eyes from side to side, and gave Gongsun Kang another look. Gongsun Kang finally understood, stepped forward and said, "Since you don't want to serve Cao Cao, why don't you surrender to your father?"
"Hey!" Gongsun Du sang a double act, "Sir, you are a talented person from all over the world, how can you condescend to a remote corner of Liaodong? Don't be rude!"
"The General has given you too much praise... I see you working hard in the Central Plains, fighting for power and profit, slaughtering the countryside, and neglecting the lives of the people... I am very sad! Now... for a while, I really have no intention of entering politics... but the General loves me so much..." Bing
Yuan quickly raised his hands and said, "Hey, I want to go back to Liaodong this time just to meet friends... Why not, if Brother Guan is willing to go out, I will accompany him!"
The brother Guan mentioned by Bing Yuan is Guan Ning.
Guan Ning is still in Liaodong. Historically, it was after Cao Cao conquered Wuhuan and pacified Liaodong that Guan Ning returned to the Central Plains and joined Cao Cao's command.
Gongsun Kang frowned and was about to say something, but was stopped by Gongsun Du, "That's good! Since the teacher said this, I will wait for "Yilong" to come out together!"
"One Dragon" refers to Guan Ning, Hua Xin, and Bing Yuan. They are called "One Dragon". The head of the dragon is Guan Ning, Hua Xin is the body of the dragon, and the tail of the dragon is Bing Yuan. And Bing Yuan said
To follow Guan Ning, the leader, is the right thing to do, and it also means some flattery.
Gongsun Du answered like this, and naturally understood the meaning of Bing Yuan's words...
"More magnanimous generals!" Bing Yuan bowed his hand, and then said a few other gossips before saying goodbye and leaving.
Gongsun Du watched Bing Yuan go away, and then asked Gongsun Kang: "What do you think about this matter?"
"This person is trying to push the envelope..." Gongsun Kang snorted twice, "No matter..."
"I didn't ask you this!" Gongsun Du interrupted Gongsun Kang, "If a certain Gongsun succeeds, naturally the world's heroes will come to join him! What I'm asking is the immediate situation!"
"Eh? In front of you?" Gongsun Kang was stunned for a moment, "What does your father mean, is Cao a thief false?"
Gongsun Du nodded, "Exactly."
After a pause, Gongsun Du slowly touched his beard and said, "Before, Thief Cao sent General Yuyang to sue for peace. I had so many doubts... Now it seems... Haha, Thief Cao really has too much time to take care of himself."
...』
Gongsun Kang thought for a moment and said, "If this person is lying..."
Gongsun Du said: "This is easy... Since your Zhengping matter has caused a stir, naturally everyone in Jizhou knows about it, so I will send people to investigate and find out..."
Gongsun Kang nodded, "What father said is true. If Cao's thieves are unable to counterattack, then the peace talks...could it be true?"
Gongsun Du nodded slowly, "In this case... Yuyang should be solid..."
As he talked, Gongsun Du suddenly felt a little pity.
In order to conquer Yuyang, we decided to kill for three days. Now think about it, if we had known that Cao Cao had too much time to take care of himself, why bother to do it one day earlier or one day later?
Why.
However, since we can temporarily negotiate peace with Cao Cao, it means that another matter can be dealt with first...
"Come here!" Gongsun Du ordered, "Send two more carts of grain and grass and three more carts of clothing and cloth to Xianbei!"
"Obey the order!" The soldiers took the order and left.
Gongsun Kang was very puzzled, "Father, what are you doing...Since Cao Jun is unable to counterattack, why do we still want to be friendly to Xianbei? The people of Xianbei are like evil wolves. They are fed with no affection and raised with disloyalty..."
Gongsun Du glanced at Gongsun Kang and said, "Oh, you are the only one who knows?"
Gongsun Kang asked, "What does your father mean..."
Gongsundu put his hands behind his back, looked up, and sighed slowly after a while: "Liaodong is in a corner, with mountains, deep forests, seas and deserts, like a prison, which prevents the movement of hands and feet... The land of Yuyang is so convenient."
It is the only way out in Liaodong... Therefore, even though I know that this place is dangerous and there are enemies on all sides, I have no choice but to enter and take it!"
Gongsun Kang nodded silently.
Liaodong, under Gongsundu's jurisdiction, naturally did not have anything to protect against the cold like a hussar general. In the increasingly cold weather in recent years, life in Liaodong was not easy. It was like the nomadic people in the desert grassland who were hungry and cold.
Under the influence, people will subconsciously choose to go south. If Liaodong wants a way out, of course the only way is to break through Yuyang and invade Youbei.
"Now that Yuyang has been established, we must secure it..." Gongsun Du said slowly, "If Cao's thieves are really unable to go north, this is a golden opportunity for you and me! A certain former alliance, close to Xianbei, drove away wolves and devoured tigers."
And... now, the tiger's wounds have healed, but this wolf has turned into a vicious tiger..."
Gongsun Kang said: "Then...that is..." Gongsun Kang made a gesture with his hand.
Gongsun Du glanced at it, without comment, paused and said: "Look again...if someone's kindness cannot be reciprocated...then there is no point in complaining..."
"Oh..." Gongsun Kang nodded, "I understand, this is what my father meant to send food and grass again!"
Gongsun Du nodded and smiled, showing six teeth, "As the saying goes, courtesy reciprocates..."
